Injector cleaning general question
I have used injector cleaners on gas engines and it seems to improve things a little bit but not a whole lot. Specifically, should I use a cleaner on my diesel engine and do they actually make such...

Can't comment on the diesel additives, but for gas engines, if you buy 'top tier gas' in the first place, you don't need to add anything... ;)
I drove my 97 F150 with a 5.4 in it for 13 years and never put a drop of fuel additive in it.. It had over 255,000 miles on it when I traded it in.. Hated to do it, but had no choice as there was no way for me to keep it and the 13 F150 too..
Never had a single injector/fuel issue in all the time I owned it. Come to think about it, never had any issues with the truck at all..:)
Always got gas from Texaco, Shell, Chevron, 76... Sure, I paid a bit more than the Safeway, Walmart, Mobil, etc stations, but I got a lot of carefree miles with the 97 and will continue to do the same with the 13.. :)
Just my experience with it.. No scientific proof what so ever...
